This figure is up from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%). While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of ...

25% Do Not See Widespread Corruption In Goverment
Political blindness strikes one in four. Three in four Americans (75%) last year perceived corruption as widespread in the country's government. This figure is up from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%). While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of ... MOREHillary Has Lots To Hide. Her Emails Reveal She Sought Out Book On “How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted”
by Michael Krieger. Sending inconvenient truths to their grave. As I’ve said many times before, the best part about Hillary Clinton running for President, is that she’s so unbelievably corrupt and shady, not a week goes by without a new scandal or embarrassment. It makes the insulting charade of U.S. elections at least somewhat comical. In the ... MOREJohn Stossel: Hillary's Armor
Borrowing Bill's teflon. "This vast right-wing conspiracy," Hillary Clinton said, "has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced." That was the "feminist" first lady's response when her husband was accused of having sex with a 21-year-old. Bill was more lawyerly. He said things like, "It depends upon what the meaning of the ... MORE DOJ Will Not Prosecute IRS's Lois Lerner For Contempt
by Susan Jones. After all, she took one for the team. President Obama's Justice Department is refusing to prosecute Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, a decision that "is disappointing and exhibits a disregard for the rule of law," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform ... MORETyranny: An Essential Feature of Socialism
by Doug Reich. I recently heard a television pundit lament the likely outcome of his own prediction that the liberally biased media, after a temporary fit of outrage over the egregious scandals engulfing the Obama administration, will return to its sycophantic posture just in time for the next election cycle. While I agree with this prediction, the more ... MOREH A Goodman: Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon Have A Point: Why Not Ask the NSA To Produce Hillary Clinton's Emails?
Big Brother has every one of them. Political attacks against Hillary Clinton often times make for good comedy, which is why during this Daily Show segment, Jon Stewart asks the following questions: "Don't
we have a facility in Utah that collects all of our emails, anyway,
solving the whole archive problem?" he asked. "Can't you just ask them,
or they ... MOREGeorge Will: The House Takes On IRS Lawlessness
Preventing Lois Lerner 2.0. Representative Peter Roskam is now chairman of the Ways and Means subcommittee whose jurisdiction includes oversight of the Internal Revenue Service, and hence of Lois Lerner’s legacy. He knows how interesting her career was before she, as head of the IRS exempt-organizations division, directed the suppression ... MOREStepen Dinan: White House That Promised Transparency Refuses To Cooperate With The Congressional IRS Probe
How to behave when the truth is not on your side. The White House told Congress
last week it refused to dig into its computers for emails that could
shed light on what kinds of private taxpayer information the IRS shares with President Obama’s top aides, assuring Congress that the IRS will address the issue — eventually. The tax agency has ... MOREIRS Probe Will Carry Into 2015 With Unresolved Questions
by Stephen Dinan. Internal Revenue Service employees charged with scrutinizing tea party groups’ nonprofit status applications showed a marked antipathy to the organizations, with one examiner calling a group “icky” and others saying they were searching for ways to deny the requests, according to a congressional oversight report Tuesday. ... MOREMatthew Hurtt: The Republican Plan To Cripple IRS
GOP attempt to reel in lawless thugs. Imagine a world where there were not enough IRS agents to threaten your livelihood by pouring over years of receipts and tax filings. With the Republican takeover of the Senate, the Republican-controlled Congress is looking to severely de-fund the IRS in the wake of the ongoing scandal that revealed the ... MORE
Bruce Walker: The IRS Scandal Is Not Going Away
Just wait until Republicans control Congress. The IRS scandal is not much in the news these days, but it is not going away. The more Obama’s minions stonewall this scandal, the more congressional Democrats discount the scandal, the more the leftist establishment media ignores this scandal, the more toxic it will be for the left. ... MOREHolder Resigned Over Judge's Fast & Furious Ruling
by Barbara Hollingsworth. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton says he has “no doubt” that a Sept. 23 federal court order
requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to turn over an index of
documents relating to the Fast and Furious scandal by October 22
prompted the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder two days later. “There’s no doubt ... MOREJohn Fund: The Injustice Of Eric Holder
A travesty of justice personified. Even we were shocked when we researched our new book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department,” at the extent to which Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. has politicized the Justice Department
and put the interests of left-wing ideology and his political party
ahead of the fair and impartial ... MOREJosh Hicks: IRS Finds More Key Hard-Drive Crashes
They say just bad luck, no tampering. The Internal Revenue Service is missing e-mails from five more employees whose records could shed light on the agency’s targeting scandal, but there are no signs that its personnel have intentionally destroyed evidence, according to an IRS review. In a report to four congressional committees on Friday, ... MORE
Is Crony-Hiring At The Core Of The VA Scandal?
by Michael Volpe. Bad hiring practices have led to a culture of cronyism that is as at the center of a burgeoning number of scandals at the Overton-Brooks Veteran Administration (VA) Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Shea Wilkes, who blew the whistle on the secret waiting list in the mental health department, told The Daily ... MOREJudge Protects IRS From Forensic Search For E-Mails
Another federal court helps a federal agency. The IRS won what might be Round One in a series of contests pitting tea party groups against the agency, with a federal judge rejecting a conservative group’s bid for a court-appointed forensics expert to hunt for ex-official Lois Lerner’s lost emails. Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District ... MOREThe Profit Motive Behind The NSA's Big Brother Spying
by Richard Byrne Reilly. The biggest scandal to ever roil the National Security Agency,
compliments of Edward Snowden, happened on his watch, but that hasn’t
stopped retired General Keith Alexander from demanding a seven-figure
technical consulting fee now that he’s a civilian. Alexander retired from the agency last year, and his ... MORE
WASH TIMES EDITORIAL: The Tax Man's Politics
Taxpayers pay for lobbying to make the agency bigger. The Internal Revenue Service continues to keep Congress, or least the House half of it, busy with investigations into the harassment of the Tea Party and how email evidence of IRS abuse mysteriously disappears. The dogs are eating a lot of the homework at the IRS. The emails that can ... MORE
